Spring Break is officially over. :( At this point, I can't think of anything more depressing.
So, back to life. My Spring Break was pretty great! Seth got to come home, we found our wedding venues, and I got to visit with my family a little bit. I was planning on knocking out my Capstone (25 page honor's graduation requirement) over Spring Break but called a truce by calling my faculty member and asking if we could extend the deadline to August. I was a little gutsy by thinking I could get it done this semester. It's not due for over a year and I have an entire summer that may include ONE class. It will all be ok! That took a lot of stress off of my Spring Break and allowed me to go home for Saturday night and Sunday. I guess those were the only days I got to really be at home. I miss it a lot. I wish Seth's family lived in Blum, too so that we could visit both families without having the hassle of driving back and forth.

Seth won his fight!! He is a Regional Champion! I'm so stinkin' proud of him. Friday night he saw his opponent a 6'5" 257 lb giant. Seth is 6'4" and weighs 212lbs soaking wet. Friday night (after seeing the guy) he told me "I'm going to beat him tomorrow." This was a big confident statement for Seth. He hasn't REALLY wanted to win a fight this year until this massive guy stepped in his path. And he pulled through! I'm so proud of him and so excited because it means that I get to go to West Point April 8th-11th to see him fight for a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!! I've only seen him fight once. It was at Plebe Parent Weekend 2 and a half years ago. It was a demonstration for a required boxing class at West Point. He has gotten so much better since then and I'm so excited (and a little nervous) to get to see him fight for a National Title belt!
Over the weekend, my mom help me settle on the choice of using silk florals instead of real ones. I'm pretty sure I'm going with White Daisies and I know that we will save a lot of money going with silk flowers. PLUS they won't all die the next day and we can put the centerpieces together before the day of the wedding and take that much stress off of everyone! Now, I need some help deciding something.... I have to set up the scene:
White table linens, white napkins (or they could be blue, what do you think?), white china.. With a centerpiece of:
Cobalt blue vases with white daisies
or
Clear vases with a blue ribbon tied around the center and white daisies
I know it shouldn't be that big of a decision, but it seems so stinkin' important. The reception wedding coordinator said that if we buy cobalt blue vases, they will buy them back from us. But they already have clear vases and blue ribbon would be very cheap. If I go with clear vases, should I also get blue silk doilies to go under the vase? Or should I use the mirror that the reception place provides to put under the centerpiece? Should I try to get blue napkins? Or should I find out how much extra it would be to get them to do blue table cloths? I bet that would be pretty.....

So many decisions that probably don't matter a lick but seem so important right now. I should probably just go buy a cobalt blue vase, a clear vase, some blue ribbon, and some daisies and see it for my self. Goodness.....
PLEASE, please help me decide this. I'm terrible at making decisions.
Thank you in advance. :)

This is not helpful at all... but when you look back on your wedding day I promise you won't be thinking about whether you had blue or white napkins or what color the vases were! I honestly can't remember what color my napkins were or if we even had vases on the tables!!
ReplyDeleteSo maybe that IS helpful... go with what will save you some money - and then use the money you've saved for a house one day!
I vote blue vases and blue napkins, no doilies, i like the mirror under the blue vases tho! I think the small touches of blue would add a nice pop of color against all the white! It is going to be so gorgeous Kay!
ReplyDeletecobalt blue vases with white daisies
ReplyDeleteI say that you should go cheap as well, but I'm thinking that blue with a huge background of white will be gorgeous. Plus, I really love the mirror-base looks, so I think that no one has to know that it was the "cheaper route" cause it'll look classy.
ReplyDelete:] Buttt. People will tell you all day how beautiful every thing is, but we're really only looking at how beautiful the bride and groom are together;) Decorations are just a side thing:]
